Untamed wings

Seen that plane?
That plane in the sky
Flying in the air
Defying the gravity
A marvel before your sight
Grazing through the clouds
The twinkling lights in the dark

There are many like you and me on it
Few going on to start a new story
Few coming back completing one
Few scared , few thrilled
Few bored
Few looking at you
From the small window by their side
But your​ existence is myth to them
You are invisible
The light falling on you doesn't refract back to them
You don't exist , in their world

It all appears like a lego world
A cute little Lego world
From up there
They try to search for their houses
They see nothing ,but miniscule structures
The heavy monstrous trucks​, buses
Look just like a speck on a glass
Realisation strikes
How uniquely significant and insignificant human life is..

And here from the ground ,
You just look at that marvel
Waving at it with your hand
Little wishes from your side
May make them land an inch more safe

When you are on the plane
Flying in the air
Scared of those heights
What if you fall?
What if the plan crashes?
What if a bird crosses?
You aren't sure if the plane will stay in the air
But know for a fact that the plane belongs to the land
Flying is more unnatural for humans
Let alone non living, like a plane

How wonderful the human mind is though
This same one in some other skull
Thought why only the ones with wings be in the air
Why can't some like me
Draw my own wings
Touch out those clouds and reach out for the moon
The same mind which is bored to visit the next town
Made plans to visit their neighbors on nearby planets
The one which doesn't care about the existence of the adjacent soul
Started to look out for such energy
On other lands
In other forms

And once in a while,
when I fear of those heights
Of those planes crashing by
I remind myself
The brain that fears now of a fall
Same decided to invent those
Hand made take offs..
To feel those untamed wings
Fly free..

Hang on!

You have to reach out Yeah, you have to Sometimes to help Sometimes to seek The simplest of the things The not so obvious signs That subtle ...
